I re-read my post and it sounded snotty. I'm sorry, Halliebeth, I didn't mean it that way, I meant it as a real question. I guess when a person really works with coping skills AND meds BUT they're still struggling extremely hard, that's generally when hospitalization is a viable option.
But I suppose when they work hard with coping skills AND meds BUT they're still struggling really hard, but IP isn't an option for a genuine reason (for example, the person is a 24/7 caregiver), it gets dicey. I'll bet a lot of seniors are in a situation like that. Frankly...scary.
